"He
has told you, O man, what is good;
And what
does the LORD require of you
But to do
justice, to love kindness,
And to
walk humbly with your God"
Micah
6:8
The
Social Ministry program of the Parish of St. Agnes Cathedral is
focused on helping our parishioners to recognize and respond to
their Baptismal call to discipleship. Our ministry is rooted in
scripture and guided by Catholic social teaching, and seeks to
educate and provide a means by which individuals and the parish
community can use their gifts to serve the poor and vulnerable
and to work for justice locally and throughout the world.
The
Gospel of St.
Luke (Lk 4:18) provides the guidance we need
TO
PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR
in
a world where millions lack basic necessities of life;
TO
PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES
when
so many are imprisoned by poverty, addiction, ignorance,
discrimination, violence or disabling conditions;
TO
RESTORE SIGHT TO THE BLIND
in
a culture where the excessive pursuit of power or pleasure can
spiritually blind us to the dignity and right of others;
TO
SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED
in
our communities where economic and moral forces leave
people without real hope.
